I don’t know about avocado plants exactly, but i would check your roots for rot

#### Carrie replied on 2024-06-22

It has healthy roots🤩

#### Kat replied on 2024-06-22

Hmm interesting did anything change in your care routine?

### send\_nodes commented on 2024-06-22

Is it getting enough light? Do you use fertilizer?

#### Carrie replied on 2024-06-22

Yes, its a outside plant and it gets morning and noon light, i do fertilize

### Alyssa commented on 2024-06-22

It might be sun burnt, most fruit trees need a coating on their bark since they hardly have any leaves for shade

My avocado has done a similar thing. The leaves got dry and crispy then dropped off.  
I’ve cut it down an inch or two to just above a leaf node and I’m hoping for the best. Might even repot soon as the roots are starting to poke out of the bottom a little bit.  
Sorry I’ve got no advice as this is my first attempt to grow an avocado from seed 🌱
